WorldVision Mod

New Zealand (Maori: Aotearoa) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Maui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. It is situated some 1,500 kilometres east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.

Well, it was probably quite obvious already, but will internally select it's entry for it's return to WorldVision in WV 71. I'm hoping to host some national finals in the near future, but there is just one song which I really love, and I don't want to risk it losing an NF. I'm preparing one for WV 72 however

Well, has finally sent its debut entry in! Very excited for my first edition. As said before I submitted one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists and I honestly couldn't think of a better début for ! Hope y'all like it

New Zealand is represented by The Naked and Famous and their song Higher! As I have said before, I love the band (I hope to go see them in February) and this is probably their best song - for me, at least. When I signed up for WV as New Zealand I pretty much decided I would debut with these guys - but then they started uploading new videos every other day which made me doubt my decision, but eventually I decided to stick with Higher. I hope you enjoy the song!

Lyrics for those interested, even though the video is a lyric video

Higher, high..

Like we understood
Made with adrenaline
Seeping out through the skin
Like only lovers could
Here's where we begin
Time is the medicine
To heal these needs
That only raise our voices

Higher, higher
Tonight we raise the dead
Tonight we bury this in fire, fire
Under the shape of years
And the weight that brought us here

But we can separate
To form these hearts in stone
Rewrite this pain we own
Caught here in the wake
Nothing but genuine
Built on a skeleton
Of fractured parts
That only raise our voices

Higher, higher
Tonight we raise the dead
Tonight we bury this in fire, fire
Under the shape of years
And the weight that brought us here

Better believe the sea of changes
And put these battered bones to rest
Nothing invisible or nameless
Leave no reason to confess

Higher, higher
Tonight we raise the dead
Tonight we bury this in fire, fire
Under the shape of years
And the weight...
Higher, higher (Higher, higher, higher)
Tonight we raise the dead
Tonight we bury this in fire, fire
Under the shape of years
And the weight that brought us here

Better believe the sea of changes
And put these battered bones to rest
Nothing invisible or nameless
Leave no reason to confess
And raise our voices
Higher, higher

And... the national final for WV72 is still open! Hurry up because the deadline is now officially set to December 10th, 23.59 cet although I'll be lenient with late votes, as long as they aren't sent long after the deadline

As for WV 73...
I was originally going to host an NF for WV 73, and even had the line-up prepared, but the morning I was about to post it a brand new release popped up in my YouTube feed - and I decided to send it internally . I'll save the NF for edition 72 then!

Benny Tipene will be flying the flag for ! After he was in my NF last edition, YouTube kept suggesting me some of his songs. One morning this one popped up and I fell in love with it. I hope you like it!

Wheeee, the land of kiwis is back in the grand final for the first time since WV 69 where Gin Wigmore got us a 7th place, while still under the reign of Guilep. Thank you all so much once more . I decided to send Benny in a whim and my rushed decision paid off clearly

For WV 74 we will be back to an NF of 5 songs. It will be posted shortly!

New member

Welcome everyone to my nf for the upcoming 74th edition of WorldVision I'd love you to help pick my entry, so if you have some time - stop by and send me your votes! ​

The songs

1. Nesian Mystik - Sun Goes Down
I've discovered that New Zealand is home to quite a few hip entries like Same You, but I've promised myself to limit myself to only offering you one of those songs at a time. This one has a really nice "vibe" and instrumental!

Dane Rumble ft Jupiter Project - Not Alone
Nice uplifting pop song - what more do I need to say?

3. Sharon O'Neill - Maxine
Let's see, this song is twice as old as I am That shouldn't matter though. I love the jazzy instrumental and Sharon's voice with her backings.

Ryan Enzed ft. Helen Corry - She Said
What do you get when you blend a producer, a beautiful singer and a bowling alley? Answer right below:

5. Avalanche City - Inside Out
Lovely relaxing entry with a nice music video. What's not to love?

Piece of Wonk

en has voted! Delightful NF (well except for one song, but anyone who knows me will know why I say that... ) Best of luck!
